The Dark Wob

Seems like there may be plenty of options then. Something to consider when I do test.

There was a bloke used to go trail riding with one arm too, must have had a grip like a vice to hang on the way he used to ride.
You could probably adapt it to use a thumb lever on the right to control the clutch pretty easily if you really wanted to, which would enable you to slam on the front brake without stalling. A quick shifter would save having to use it at other times.

I world love one of the fully auto big bore MX/ Enduro bikes or even a Rokon (that were built for a couple of years before the manufacturers decided things prone to carb icing when on wide open throttle really weren't a good idea) but that just because I'm stupid and don't know any better.

Speak to NADB, although I'm sure you already know about them.

I'm a member of nabd too

They’re a good group and will help you in one way or another.


Less annoying tag line.

They are very good at what they do. It was them that reinstated trike regulations for car drivers too when DVLA thought they knew best.

Today the van has been working. First stop was a tip off that my cousin was scraping her car. Car take back offered £210 so my mechanic mate matched it,bought it and will be put into action as a courtesy car. Stood for around 2 years as cousin was at uni and just neglected it. Started up with a jump from the van and pumped up tyres. Friend us going to service it, replace battery and cambelt then put it into use.
Next up was a recovery job on behalf of friend. Paid 200 quid for it. Plan is to strip it for bits he needs for another engine and I've been told I can have what I want from it so I'm having the towbar,light guards from headlights and tail lights,rear roof lining,silver dash inserts,front lights,front bumper and front seats. He has been quoted 220 in scrap for it providing it's complete and rolling so broken bits will be going back on it so it's classed as complete. I would have had it myself but it's a 1.6 hdi with 175 thousand on clock,shot gear linkages and knackered clutch so it's not worth it. I'd rather put the nice bits on my old van.

Are you having the alloys? Or are the tyres fucked?

They aren't alloys. It's them shitty Halfords wheel trims that look like alloy from 100 yards and squinting. And tyres are kippered

Front seats swapped along with front bumper and light guards. Power steering hose has split which is being an arse.
